Tesla does indeed dominate the US market for EVs, however it's not the same everywhere around the world. And we have to assume that their market share in the US will dwindle once the major OEMs continue to broaden their EV model lineup in the coming years:
The Consulier is one of those ahead-of-its-time stories. Built between 1985 and 1993, the GTP had the specs, the street cred of a supercar.
We’ve looked at a lot of data from cars that are “down on power”. We notice that this power deficit isn’t as obvious as you might expect. We’ve dyno tested many cars thought to be down on power, only to find small horsepower advantages or no difference among cars. We also use analytical software to…

9 Days in Summer is a 48-minute promotional documentary film made by Ford in 1967. It tells the story of the development of the Ford-funded Cosworth DFV and Lotus 49, the title coming from the nine Formula One races the car took part in 1967, which are also extensively featured in the film.
The team at Winding Road Racing is always interested in ways to improve the racing experience. Today, we’re interested in getting your feedback on leasing and renting racing cars.
Almost every week we have a customer stop by one of our shops to ask us about a project he or she has in mind: “can you upgrade my current street car in phases to be a faster track day car and then a better HPDE car and then a wheel-to-wheel race car?”
If you have a normal U.S. commute of 25.4 minutes or longer, you may well have become a fan of podcasts. Ditto if you are a cyclist or jogger or gym rat.

Over the new few weeks, we’ll be putting together our dream holiday wish list. From race cars to apparel, we’ve compiled our Holiday Wish Book that would even make Rudolph jealous.
The words “Sweden” and “turbo” are generally associated with Saab when used in the same sentence. However, Volvo jumped on the ever-crowded forced-induction bandwagon in 1981 when it introduced a turbocharged version of the 240 that offered motorists 155 horses under the skinny pedal. The sedan was capable of sprinting to 62 mph from a stop in nine seconds flat, and it reached a top speed of 121 mph. Those figures were impressive in the early 1980s; in fact, the 245 Turbo earned the honor of being the fastest station wagon on the planet.

Christmas time can be frustrating for car enthusiasts. How do you explain to your well-meaning relatives that what you really need in life is a new set of racing slicks and a spare water pump, not a sweatshirt or a Nespresso machine? In a perfect world, Santa’s sleigh would be an eight-wheeled car hauler and the reindeers would be replaced by a Freightliner. Here are the ten race cars we’d like to see under the tree on Friday morning.
Companies from all over the automotive landscape are increasingly replacing sheer displacement with forced-induction in a bid to reduce emissions and improve gas mileage. This is especially true in Europe, where a seemingly endless list of cars ranging from the Lilliputian Volkswagen up! all the way to the Ferrari 488 GTB come with a turbo.
First held in 1923, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the most grueling races in the history of motorsports. Few other events on this side of the Dakar Rally take such a big toll on both man and machine. It goes without saying that racers have evolved considerably over the past nine decades. The first car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans was a 1923 Chenard-Walcker Sport, which was powered by a 3.0-liter straight-four engine. It drove for 1,372 miles at an average speed of 57 mph; by comparison, in 1989 a Sauber C9 hit nearly 250 mph on the Mulsanne Straight and the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, the winner of last year’s race, logged over 3,200 miles over the course of the day.
Germany has been involved in motor racing since the earliest days of the sport, so it comes as no surprise that the country’s automakers have racked up a staggering number of victories over the past century or so. We’ve singled out ten of the greatest German race cars ever built, a task that was easier said than done. Think we missed one? Let us know in the comments section.
Like many of you, we like to look at race cars that we might buy. Our thinking is often either “that looks like fun,” or “if I had that, we could run with XXXX.” This thinking has led us to purchase and sell more than a few cars.
